Cope's Creamed Corn

Bloody Mary
This humble Bloody Mary has its roots in a 2000 article by R. W. Apple Jr., who explored the origins of Worcestershire sauce, “perhaps best known as an indispensable ingredient" in the cocktail. Mr. Apple’s version doesn’t stray far from tradition, featuring the sauce prominently. Serve this version with a simple garnish of lime at your next brunch. (Betsey, Mr. Apple's wife, noted in the comments below that she always added horseradish and celery salt to those she served him at home. We think that's a grand idea.)

Galatoire’s Sweet Potato Cheesecake
This recipe is adapted from a popular dessert served at Galatoire's, a famed New Orleans restaurant founded on Bourbon Street, in 1905. A simple graham cracker crust is filled with cinnamon-spiced sweet potato cheesecake then topped with a lightly-sweetened layer of sour cream. It is to die for.

Roasted Ripe Tomato Salsa
With two types of tomatoes – standard Jersey and plum – this salsa takes full advantage of summer's bounty. Herbes de Provence and shallots stand in for the traditional seasonings of cilantro and onions, which means it skews slightly, and delightfully, French. We like it with grilled fish or chicken.

Alice Waters’s Cranberry Upside-Down Cake
This recipe requires a little extra effort – you have to whip the egg whites separately and then fold them into the batter - but the reward is a light, ethereal cake topped with glistening, caramelized cranberries. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream, and prepare yourself for accolades.

Sweet Lavender, Maple Syrup And Carrot Ice Milk
In 2000, R. W. Apple Jr. called Sooke Harbour House, in British Columbia, "one of Canada's half-dozen best restaurants," praising its kitchen garden and its "more than two acres of herbs, vegetables and edible flowers, many of them rarities, gradually devouring the lawns around the house, tumbling down to the sea, scaling hillsides in every direction, a living tapestry of leaf, shrub and color." It seldom snows at Sooke, which lies in hardiness Zone 8, the same as Charleston, S.C., a beneficiary of benign Pacific breezes and currents. This recipe utilizes some of the herbs that grow year-round on the property.

Pho Bo
During the Vietnam War, the Vietcong's unsporting habit of cutting the roads that connected Saigon with the countryside meant that only a pathetic trickle of first-class produce reached the capital, and that, in turn, meant that the sophisticated Vietnamese dishes that you eat today, there or elsewhere in the world, were out of reach. Somehow, though, there was always plenty of pho, the restorative, anise-scented beef or chicken noodle soup, delivered to your door for breakfast by frail-looking vendors, and that was ample compensation.
